Welcome to a new episode of Free Teacher PD: Part 1 of Prevent or Defuse Bullying, Strategies for Reining in Bullying, with Susan Brooks-Young.

How many times have you heard a child counseled to ignore being picked on, to toughen up, or to fight back?

Many adults often fail to understand the impact bullying has on a child, and some may view it as a rite of passage. Even adults who empathize with a victim tend to shift the responsibility for correcting the situation onto the victim by suggesting that he or she change his or her behavior to make the bullying subside?

Please join me in welcoming Susan Brooks-Young as she explores tactics for identifying instances of bullying, challenges adults face when defusing and/or preventing bullying, and common strategies and tactics that can be used to rein in bullying.

Glad to have you with us for a new episode of Free Teacher PD: Part 1 of The Lowdown on Bullying: Understand and Identify Bullying, with Susan Brooks-Young.
Do you, like many people, think bullying consists primarily of older boys targeting younger children?If so, that isn’t always the case.
You see, many instances of bullying occur between children who are the same age or in the same grade level.
And, while direct bullying is typically the work of boys, a lot of bullying does occur between girls, too.
Are you able to identify the three most common forms of bullying?
Please join me as Susan Brooks-Young helps educators prepare to deal with bullying by offering a clear definition of bullying, shares common characteristics of bullies and their victims, and dispels some bullying stereotypes.
